Aly & AJ Michalka are back on the music scene and ready to unleash 78Violet with two new concert dates!

The duo will be releasing their long-awaited first single as 78Violet, “Hothouse,” on July 8 as well as the music video, but before that, they’re playing some special concerts.

78Violet will be playing two very special exclusive showcase events to be held at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles on June 26th and The Gramercy Theater in New York on July 9th. The Los Angeles and New York showcases will mark the duo’s first two live performances in five years.

Aly and AJ shared in a statement, “we couldn’t be more ready or excited to introduce our amazing fans to the new and evolved sound behind 78Violet! These two upcoming shows will allow us to share a small taste of the alternative pop vibe that you’ll hear on the album in an organic and up close and personal setting.”

To show their appreciation for their over 1 million combined social media followers, fans will have a chance to purchase a special meet and greet package that will also guarantee them entry into the exclusive 78Violet showcases by signing up for their new fan club starting this Friday on their Facebook page. Tickets and VIP packages are limited for both performances and will be distributed via lottery. For further ticket information, please visit www.facebook.com/78violet.
